<p>In <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69185" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69185">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69185</a> I am introducing two new lints, which so far used to be part of <code>const_err</code> (so there's no new errors, just existing errors being reclassified): the lints are about overflows and panics being detected by const-prop (<em>not</em> const-eval -- so this is not code that gets executed at compiletime and overflows/panics; this is normal runtime code that however a compiletime analysis determines <em>will</em> overflow/panic).<br>
We're having some trouble picking names, so help would be appreciated: </p>
<ul>
<li>the overflowing one is called <code>overflow</code> so far but that's rather meh. See <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69185#discussion_r379894820" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69185#discussion_r379894820">this discussion</a>.</li>
<li>the panic one is called <code>panic</code> so far but that's rather meh. See <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69185#discussion_r379830848" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69185#discussion_r379830848">this discussion</a>.</li>
</ul>
